Pucovski took to the crease for his second ball but it ended in disaster for the batsman who has been constantly in the wars.

He accidentally ducked into Riley Meredith's delivery as he tried to get out the way of the bowl.

The ball smashed into the side of his helmet and Pucovski fell to the floor.

Players and medics rushed over to him so he could receive treatment.
